1 Mean values (±1SE) for ten traitsafter ten years Climate
Change manipulations (CC; dry -30% rainfall; wet +30%; control ambient
rainfall) in two intermediate sites (SA semi-arid, M Mediterranean) and
in two additional control sites along a natural rainfall gradient (A
arid, MM mesic-Mediterranean). Significant CC effects indicate
evolutionary trait divergence due to climate manipulations (full
statistics in Table 1). The
direction of CC responses can be compared to trait shifts along the
natural rainfall gradient (effect of site; full statistics in Table 2).Points show mean trait
values across 5 water
levels in the greenhouse for plants from N=40 genotypes per site and CC
manipulation, whilestatistical analyses
accounted for all individual water levels. *p<0.05,
